Qaym قيم

Qaym started as an Arabic-language review site specialized at user-based reviews on restaurants around the world. It started as a review site mainly for restaurants in the Arabian region.
The website was bootstrappted to run a in-house custom built social networking platform, sophisticated user rating and review, and local search using the second generation of web Web 2.0.
The website is aimed to deliver good restaurant reviews and easy access contents for Arab readers and soon to the different languages around the globe.
Few words has slipped around that Qaym will be as famous as yelp, zagat as they once call it: Yelp Arabia.
